“To my great surprise, the newborn that was created five years ago has become a teenager,” says Movahedi, who has chaired four of the first five festivals. “People are coming in from all over the world and all over the county. The fact that it is Miami Beach and an amazing place to be will help. ... It helps that we are a completely free event the day of the parade. The entire community comes to enjoy whether they are LGBT or not.”

“This is the last year she will be mayor,” Movahedi says. “She was instrumental — she gave me the go ahead to start pride. It is time to say thank you and that is why she is grand marshal.” Noon to 1 p.m. Sunday. Free.

A pride street festival continues through 6 p.m. Entertainment, including singer Adam Lambert at 8 p.m., runs through 11 p.m. at the main stage on Ocean Drive between 11th and 12th streets. There is no VIP seating. “You can hear the music,” says Movahedi, “but you’ll have to be there early to be in the front lines.”
